The Islamic library provides access to Islamic resources for
Muslims and people of other faiths and beliefs of the community,
so that they may discover the beauties and bounties of Islam.
The
library offers a wide variety of books for children, teenagers
and adults. There are books in different languages including
English, Urdu, Bosnian, Albanian, Turkish, Arabic, Chinese,
Russian, Persian and French. There is also a selection of
audiotapes, videos and CDs. For
those who wish to do some serious study, the Library has various
collections of Quran, Tafseer (explanation of Quran), Ahadith
and Fiqh.
As
the library is run on a voluntary basis by the members of
the Islamic Association of Australia, the open times are limited.
We are looking for more volunteers to enable us to have the
Library open full-time, inshaAllah. If you are interested,
please contact us.
